"We have to live together. I am tired of this game" I said. "Game! Do you think what's going on between us is a game, it's destiny Ray, our fate". "I do not know. Sometimes I feel insecure and lonely. Often even in your presence I feel that you are far away from me". I felt a pang. She smiled and looked at me intensely. "That was not your promise Ray, I promised I was going to visit anytime you miss me which I have been doing. You promised not to worry". I kept mute and we ate slowly in silence afterwards. "Let's go" .She said. "Let's ride around". The sky had turned faint red in colour. I rode slowly feeling her warm body pressing against me. The noise of street sank down and i felt deep calmness. We sat on a cement bench under the bridge near the walk way. The view was majestic. The gentle waves in the lake glistened in the fading sun light. Tall grass spread on both sides of the lake like a green carpet. Suddenly she lay down on the grassy ground closing her eyes and took a deep breath. The sky was clear with innumerable stars glistening. "Hey dreamer, come to me". She said her eyes sparkling. I moved forward and lay close to her, then turned to face her. She rolled over to me and i felt her gentle kisses on my face. "I wish to be melted into you, penetrate into you, not just a part of my body but the whole of it. I miss you Marwah". I said and sighed. She laughed looking stunned. Her laughter echoed. "You must have been reading those hot love stories recently Ray". She said making me smile shyly. She pulled me suddenly to her and kissed hard at my lips. I returned her kiss as we hugged each other tightly. The tightness of her hug went soft as she gently pulled away from me. I tried hard to read her face in the reflection of the moon light. I felt a sharp intense pain in my chest as she started to walk away. I yelled her name, crying and telling her to come back. "Strong men don't cry Ray, wipe those tears and know that your Marwah forever loves you".

*Could you ever love a broken person?* "I understand that you're broken," he said as he lifted her chin so she stared directly into his eyes. "But I want you to understand that it is my job to restore the happiness you lost. I am your husband now, Afrah. And it is my responsibility to make you happy. So that is my mission from now until the end of time." Afrah stared down at her hands, feeling as though her soul was being wrenched from her body. She couldn't look him in the eye. Not after what she had gone through. Not when she still saw the devil in his eyes. * It is said that the most painful wounds leave the deepest scars. No one could attest to that more than Afrah Aminu. For eleven years she's kept a secret to herself, knowing that she might never be able to tell anyone. Not that she wanted to. But now, with the sudden arrival of a strange man in her life, she finds herself thrown into the terrifying situation of having to relive it all. As he tears down each and every wall she has set up around her heart, the memories of that haunting night come crashing in waves. Will she be able to survive it? Or will she be crushed underneath its weight?

Sometimes we look like we have everything figured out . There are many like us out there who are dealing with problems no one knows about because bringing the cat out of the bag is a very traumatizing thing to do. Our journey to freedom starts with living for the best and not settling for the worst. I believe that one-day , one or all of our wishes will come true and we will not only bloom beautifully but we will glow fearlessly and grow gracefully in Shaa Allah. This is our journey to accomplishing greatness, becoming sisters in life and preparing ourselves for the hereafter. This is not to say that a fall from the side will stop us , it is bound to make us stronger. Sabiqa fell out so soon but she is the reason we have grown beyond our fears . We shall thrive till the end. In the event that we attain the freedom that we speak of , we shall tell the world about the power of being survivors of the mysteries of fate and give them a manuscript of our lives to help them write their stories too. It wouldn't just be mine, her or your journey , it will be our journey to freedom. Wednesday march 25 , 2020.

In life, we don't always get what we want. Falling in love is a great feeling. Being loved in return is even a more greater feeling. But not being loved in return by the one we fall in love with is... PAINFUL! Love is beautiful, Love is sweet, Love is magical, Love is sacrifice, Love is selfish, ... And love hurts! She always imagined her life, wishing it could be like those romance movies she watched. He has always been in love with her, and imagined her as his wife. But we don't always get what we want, yeah. When all hope was lost, destiny took its course. And he was beyond happy. She was, shattered and heartbroken. They crushed her little hope. It hurts when you get betrayed by the one you trust. She loves him but he loves someone else. He loves her but she thinks about someone else. She hated him! He couldn't let her go. Not after having her. He didn't care how hurting she was making him feel: he wasn't going to give up. In A Quest For Love ❣ A story about Bestfriends♡♡♡ ♠ Wondering already, are we? Read and find out. *NOT EDITED*
